This episode was really funny actually, I love Bianca's character the way she's just all over the place and randomly say words in song i.e. When she goes 'BYEEE' at the end
It also featured the great character of Oshawott, who comes out and patronizes Pikachu with the way he waves his arms at him. Oshawott is such a cool character.
I'm just glad I didn't hear Iris call anyone a kid (I think) because I really want to just punch her in the face each time she says that
I'm hoping that Ash gets to Nacrene City next episode (does he?) because some of the previous fillers were so boring, I mean that Trubbish Squad episode was, to me, was just so... So... ... zzzzz
On a last note, with Gen V being a parallel to Gen I, I really want there to be a kind of Jigglypuff character, that would be awesome

She did. She said "Bianca, that's me. Hello there!" and waved as soon as Professor Juniper got off the X-Transceiver.

100% of information in signatures on this forum involving percentages is false. If you feel as cheated by this atrocity as I do, don't you dare copy this into your signature.
Hold on... if this percentage was correct at the time of print, that means the actual percentage of false information is less than 100% if this signature is included. Which means that... no! I've become a slave to the system!!

So, let me get this right: First people were complaining about Pikachu losing to a Snivy in episode 1, then people complained about it losing to a Panpour in episode 5, and now you're mad about it beating a Pignite?

The thing is, it actually would have made sense if Pikachu lost to Pignite. Snivy had no battle experience and Panpour is a water type. Pikachu should have destroyed those two. Pignite on the other hand has beaten two Gym Leaders by itself and hit Pikachu with two powerful moves before the Flame Charge vs Volt Tackle scene. This would have been a realistic battle for Pikachu to lose.

This episode was a hundred times better in English. I'll admit that I was worried about Bianca's English VA, but there was nothing to worry about in the end. While I did think that her voice was a bit shrill at times, I still really liked it. I also like Minccino's dub voice, but Pignite's made me want to rip something. Seriously. Cilan and Iris managed to be in the background while not being completely bland, which was a nice change of pace. Overall, I loved the dubbed version of this episode. If only TPCi could be consistent with the rest of the dub :/

Besides, doesn't Pignite have a type advantage over Cilan and Lenora's pokemon?

Who says she's got badges off them two? Well first in Striaton City she'd battle Cress since she started off with Tepig, thus giving her one disadvantage. Yes Pignite has an advantage over Lenora however she could have got an anime-exclusive gym badge, for example Barry had two unknown badges in his case. Ya never know.

I'm pretty sure that Bianca is a few years older than Ash; therefore, she's taller. In Black/White the player characters, Cheren, and Bianca all seem to be teenagers (or at least 12-year-olds).

I'd give this episode a 10/10, just because of Bianca's awesome character. She's a lot like her game counterpart really. I loved how disorganized, excitable, and ditsy she was. Minccino was cute and smart; his capture was interesting too. Bianca catching Minccino was about as interesting as May catching Munchlax.

Umm aren't we forgetting the badge cases have preset 8 badges spaces. I'm thinking there are no anime exclusive gyms in unova.

Did we even see Bianca's badge case? If she doesn't have one then she can have whatever badges she wants. Even so, we saw Barry's badge case in Sinnoh and his mystery badges fit fine. Bianca could just have a different badge case than Ash, allowing her to have diffeent badges.

This was a really great episode. Bianca is a fun character who kept me interested the whle time with her wackiness. She different from her game counterpart, but that doesn't disappoint me. I'm a bit iffy on the voice, but I'm sure I'll get use to it. Cilan and his spoon also made me laugh; it reminded me of James and his bottle caps (I wonder if he still collects them). It would have been funny if after Ash fell off the tree Cilan asks him if he is alright, only for Ash to realize Cilan was talking to his cooking utensils. That would be a funny scene if it existed.

As great as the episode was, I wish the battle at the end of the episode wasn't as short. They could easily cut out the TR scene, as it isn't important to know that they are in Nacrene City - we would of found out the next episode they're in. Anywho, I don't like how Pignite launches three attacks at Pikachu while Pikachu just wins with a single Volt Tackle. I realize Pikachu is plot powered, but I'd perfer to see some back and forth between the two Pokemon before the fininshing blow.

All in all, a great episode. I can't wait for Bianca's next appearance. Also, Ash should have gotten an Xtransiever.

If you want the funny pre-Black & White Team Rocket back in the Anime,

And yes, I realize that, besides the Radio Show, the chances of that happening now are less than zero.

I think they're 15 years old or something. Also, I agree with the 10/10, although she could have introduced herself better. I had to check my memory if they had met her before. Other than that, Bianca was really funny.
